Crime

Alec Baldwin acaba de presentar su primera respuesta oficial a los nuevos cargos presentados contra él en el caso "Rust" en Nuevo México y lo primero que sale de su boca es... ¡Date prisa!

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, el actor ha sido ordenado a comparecer ante un juez para responder a la acusación de homicidio involuntario que se presenta en su contra (de nuevo) y él tiene que hacerlo el 1 de febrero a las 11 AM a través de una declaración oficial.

El papeleo señala que Alec puede aparecer en la corte a través de teléfono o videoconferencia, pero tiene que responderle al juez de una manera u otra si es culpable o inocente. Basado en la última vez que esto sucedió, algo nos dice que Alec va a ir con este último.

De hecho, sus abogados presentaron una respuesta casi de inmediato y dejan claro que quiere terminar con esto de una vez por todas, haciendo hincapié en su derecho constitucional a un juicio rápido.

Una de las razones que su equipo legal cita como motivo principal, es porque va a "minimizar el vilipendio público y la sospecha." Además, quiere "evitar los peligros de probar su inocencia que a menudo surgen después de un largo retraso en el enjuiciamiento".

Recordemos Alec está enfrentando cargos otra vez la semana pasada. Cargos de homicidio involuntario por negligencia en el uso de un arma de fuego, o en la alternativa, homicidio involuntario sin la debida precaución o circunspección. Antes de que los cargos fueran retirados la primera vez, se enfrentaba a algo muy similar, y todo el tiempo negó vehementemente cualquier delito.

Por supuesto, todo esto tiene que ver con el hecho de que Alec estaba usando la pistola de utilería en el set, que de alguna manera disparó y envió una bala a través de la fallecida Halyna Hutchins.

Alec Baldwin just filed his first official response to the new charges being brought against him in the "Rust" case in New Mexico -- and the first thing out of his mouth is ... hurry up!

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the actor has been ordered to appear before a judge in NM to answer to the involuntary manslaughter charge being filed against him (again) ... and he's gotta do so on Feb. 1 at 11 AM through an official plea.

The paperwork notes that AB can show up to court via phone or video conference -- but he's gotta let the judge know one way or the other ... guilty or not guilty. Based on the last time this happened, something tells us Alec's gonna go with the latter.

In fact, his attorneys filed a response to this almost immediately -- submitting documents that make clear ... he wants to get this over and done with, stressing his constitutional right to a speedy trial.

One of the reasons his legal team cites as wanting to get the show on the road here is because it'll "minimize public vilification and suspicion." Plus, he wants to "avoid the hazards of proving his innocence that often arise after a lengthy delay in prosecution."

Remember, Alec was slapped with new charges last week -- namely, involuntary manslaughter through negligent use of a firearm, or in the alternative ... involuntary manslaughter without due caution or circumspection. Before the charges were dropped the first time, he was facing something very similar ... and the entire time, he vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Of course, this all has to do with the fact that Alec was using the prop gun on set -- which somehow fired and sent a live bullet through the late Halyna Hutchins, who was the DP.

Jarrell Miller appeared to be in good spirits during his arrest earlier this month ... with new police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, showing the boxing star was actually cracking jokes while in handcuffs.

Miller was confronted by Hollywood Police Dept. officers in Florida back on Jan. 2 ... after he had been accused of body-slamming a car dealership employee, before stealing a truck right off the lot.

According to police documents, officers were able to find Miller via a tracker that had been placed in the vehicle ... but body camera footage shows he was in a jovial mood despite the allegations against him.

In the video, Miller -- wearing a #F***AJOB" T-shirt -- can be heard asking an officer if he could go into a nearby establishment and make his "brother" aware of what was happening to him.

"He look like you?" the cop asked.

"Nah," Miller said as he flashed a huge smile. "He's white as a motherf***er. He's my God brother!"

Miller then seemed to make light of the situation further ... asking a policeman if there was any way he could "handcuff me to the front" of the squad car due to his 6-foot-4, 330-pound frame.

Miller eventually got in the vehicle ... and was ultimately taken to a nearby station, where he was booked on charges of carjacking without a firearm or weapon and burglary with assault or battery.

Miller appeared in a courtroom two days later and pleaded not guilty to the charges. When he was released from custody, he issued a statement saying, in part, "I am prayerful and look forward to a favorable resolution of this case."

1/23 -- 7:54 AM PT -- The NYPD says the guy who got dragged away in a police car Monday has been arrested and booked on stalking and harassment charges.

The department says, "Officers were approached by multiple complainants who pointed out an emotionally disturbed male acting erratically at the location. Once officers observed the male harassing multiple complainants, they took him to custody without further incidents; no injuries were reported." The dude's name is David Crowe -- and he's apparently from Seattle.

Taylor Swift had the same dude who was busted at her place this weekend show up on her doorstep AGAIN this week -- and best believe ... cops showed up to handle it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the man who was cuffed and hauled away Saturday while trying to access Taylor's NYC townhouse had the gall to swing by her pad yet again on Monday, something her security team and surrounding neighbors immediately noticed.

We're told the head of Taylor's security immediately called cops when the dude arrived, and our sources say everyone reported the same thing ... namely, that he was just lurking.

Of course, considering what just happened a couple days ago with this fella ... that's a huge problem. We're told NYPD officers eventually arrived to the scene, but couldn't immediately find the man -- however, it didn't take long to track him down ... he was around the corner.

Our sources say they found less than a block away from Taylor's residence -- and that's where this interaction with the cops went down, with officers once again throwing him in handcuffs and into the back of one of their police cruisers.

No question about it ... we're told this is, in fact, the same dude from Saturday-- but we're not sure at this point what's gonna happen to him, or if charges are being pressed either.

You'll recall ... when he was originally picked up, cops say they found him fiddling with Taylor's front door, in what police perceived as an attempt to enter without authorization.

When they ran him in their system, they found there was an open warrant for his arrest -- this pertaining to a separate case from 2017 when he failed to show up to court.

It goes without saying ... him coming back to the scene so soon after all that is troubling, to say the least -- and ya gotta figure law enforcement will be a little stricter this time around.

Then again, we know celebs have had a hard time achieving successful deterrents from these sorts of people who appear to be obsessed with them ... with the criminal justice system often failing to protect them from potential danger.

As you know ... Taylor has had a long, documented history with stalkers in her own career ... including one who was previously arrested for trying to get into her Manhattan pad a few years back. Unclear if this guy is that, but already ... he's not setting a good precedent.

Our new documentary, "TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood's Stalker Crisis," airs Monday at 9/8c on FOX ... and we break down Taylor's stories and more.

1/23/24 -- La policía de Nueva York dice que el tipo que fue arrestado en un carro de policía el lunes ha sido detenido y fichado por cargos de acoso y hostigamiento.

El departamento dice: "Los agentes fueron abordados por múltiples denunciantes que señalaron que un hombre emocionalmente perturbado estaba actuando erráticamente en el lugar. Una vez que los agentes observaron al varón acosando a múltiples denunciantes, lo detuvieron sin más incidentes; no se registraron heridos". El nombre del tipo es David Crowe y al parecer es de Seattle.

El mismo tipo que fue arrestado en la casa de Taylor Swift este fin de semana apareció en su puerta de nuevo y por suerte los policías aparecieron para manejarlo.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que el hombre que fue esposado el sábado por tratar de acceder a la casa de Taylor en Nueva York tuvo el descaro de pasar por su casa de nuevo el lunes, algo que su equipo de seguridad y vecinos alrededor advirtieron de inmediato.

Nos dicen que el jefe de seguridad de Taylor inmediatamente llamó a la policía cuando el tipo llegó y nuestras fuentes dicen que todo el mundo informó de lo mismo, es decir, que estaba al acecho.

Por supuesto, esto es un gran problema, teniendo en cuenta lo que acababa de pasar hace un par de días con el tipo. Nos dicen que la policía de Nueva York llegó a la escena, pero no pudo encontrarlo inmediatamente. Al poco tiempo, lo localizaron a la vuelta de la esquina.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que se encontraba a menos de una cuadra de distancia de la residencia de Taylor, donde se enfrentó con la policía. Los agentes lo volvieron a esposar en la parte trasera de uno de sus carros de policía.

No hay duda de ello. Nos dicen que este es, de hecho, el mismo tipo del sábado, pero no estamos seguros de lo que va a pasar con él o si se están presentando cargos.

Ustedes recordarán, cuando lo atraparon por primera vez, los policías dijeron que lo encontraron tocando la puerta principal de Taylor, en lo que las autoridades percibieron como un intento de entrar sin autorización.

Cuando chequearon en su sistema, encontraron que había una orden de arresto abierta hacia él por un caso separado de 2017, cuando no se presentó ante el tribunal.

No hace falta decir que su regreso a la escena tan poco tiempo después del primer incidente es preocupante por decir lo menos y se tienen que imaginar que la aplicación de la ley será un poco más estricta esta vez.

Por otra parte, sabemos que las celebridades han tenido dificultades para lograr disuadir con éxito a este tipo de personas que parecen estar obsesionados con ellos. El sistema de justicia penal a menudo falla en protegerlos de un potencial peligro.

Como ustedes saben, Taylor ha tenido una larga y documentada historia con acosadores en su propia carrera, incluyendo uno que fue arrestado previamente por tratar de entrar en su casa en Manhattan hace unos años. No está claro si es este tipo, pero no está sentando un buen precedente.

Nuestro nuevo documental, "TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood's Stalker Crisis", se emite el lunes a las 9/8c en FOX, en donde desglosamos las historias de Taylor y más.

Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is suing an L.A.-area hotel ... after he says the establishment didn't do enough to protect him during a terrifying robbery in its lobby last year.

The 29-year-old claimed in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County last week that the incident happened at the Lexen Hotel in North Hollywood at around midnight on Oct. 20, 2023.

Robinson claims he entered the facility through a side entrance after pulling into the parking garage ... but when he made his way into the lobby, two masked men pulled guns on him and threatened to murder him.

In the suit, Robinson says the men took nearly $150,000 worth of stuff off of his person during the encounter ... including a luxury diamond watch and two diamond chains.

Robinson claims the hotel didn't have security guards outside the hotel or in the lobby -- adding that employees who were working at the front desk at the time didn't call authorities until after the suspects had fled the area.

Robinson's suing the place for negligence and more ... seeking at least $149,500 in damages ... plus punitives.

Robinson played in 16 regular season games for the Rams this year. He also logged snaps in the team's lone playoff game earlier this month against the Lions, recording three catches for 44 yards.

"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh says America's spiraling crime stats, and criminals getting smarter are just 2 reasons why his famous show is returning to FOX.

John and his son, Callahan Walsh, are hosting the 'AMW' reboot, and they joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" to discuss how crime has changed since the show's initial heyday in the '90s and early 2000s.

It was way back in 1988 when 'AMW' premiered on FOX and John tells us crime is so bad these days, honchos at the FBI told him they wanted his show to return, so he could help bust criminals ... particularly in areas the agency considers "lawless."

Another change since the OG 'AMW' ... John says advances in technology are making it easier to find criminals -- but he points out some of that technology also gives the bad guys more tools to break laws, and get away with it.

There are plenty of new criminals for John and Callahan to track down on their reboot ... but they tell us their program will also take a crack at solving some cold cases too.

No one understands the importance of staying on cases like that more than the Walsh family -- John points out he waited 27 years for the police files that eventually helped solve his 6-year-old son Adam's 1981 abduction and murder.

The new 'AMW' premieres tonight at 8 PM ET on FOX, and the Walshes tell us they plan to keep fighting crime in Adam's honor.

'Cheer' star Monica Aldama's son, Austin Aldama, has been arrested and charged with possession of child porn in Texas -- and the allegations authorities lay out are disturbing.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Austin was arrested and booked last Thursday in Navarro County on an open warrant for his arrest ... which references a grand jury indictment against him with 10 counts of possession of child pornography.

Specifically, Austin (who's 27) was booked into the county jail, posed for this mug, and was released on bond with certain conditions ... including having to submit to random drug testing and other stipulations, like submitting to voluntary searches of his phone and computer. He's also prohibited from viewing pornographic images by any means.

We should note that in docs -- prosecutors cite evidence they say they have including several videos with file names describing children engaged in sex acts that are under the age of 10.

Austin doesn't appear to have been arraigned yet, so he hasn't entered a plea thus far.

It's obviously shocking news -- made even stunning by the fact that the 'Cheer' community there in Navarro -- prominently featured in the Netflix show -- has already been rocked by a child porn scandal ... namely, from one of the stars in the Netflix series, Jerry Harris.

You'll recall ... Jerry was also hit with child porn charges, and he ended up getting convicted in his case -- now, he was hit with a 12-year sentence back in 2022.

At the time, Monica said she was "shattered" by the allegations against Jerry -- noting in a statement, "Our children must be protected from abuse and exploitation, and I'm praying hard for the victims and everyone affected."

El hijo de Monica Aldama, Austin Aldama, ha sido arrestado y acusado de posesión de pornografía infantil en Texas, y las acusaciones de las autoridades son inquietantes.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Austin fue detenido el pasado jueves en el Condado de Navarro con una orden de arresto abierta para su detención, que hace referencia a una acusación del gran jurado en su contra con 10 cargos de posesión de pornografía infantil.

En concreto, Austin (de 27 años) fue llevado la cárcel del condado, posó para esta foto y fue puesto en libertad bajo fianza con ciertas condiciones, incluyendo tener que someterse a pruebas de drogas al azar y someterse a búsquedas voluntarias en su teléfono y la computadora. También tiene prohibido ver imágenes pornográficas por cualquier medio.

Debemos señalar que en los documentos los fiscales citan pruebas que dicen que tienen varios videos con nombres de archivos que describen a los niños que participan en actos sexuales que son menores de 10 años.

Austin no parece haber sido procesado todavía, por lo que no ha presentado una declaración hasta el momento.

Obviamente, es una noticia impactante, y es aún más sorprendente el hecho de que la comunidad "Cheer" que está allí en Navarro que aparece en la serie de Netflix, ya ha sido sacudida por un escándalo de pornografía infantil relacionado con una de las estrellas en la serie de Netflix, Jerry Harris.

Como recordarás... Jerry también fue golpeado con cargos de pornografía infantil y terminó siendo condenado a 12 años en 2022.

En ese momento, Mónica dijo que estaba "destrozada" por las acusaciones contra Jerry, señalando en un comunicado: "Nuestros hijos deben ser protegidos del abuso y la explotación y estoy rezando mucho por las víctimas y todos los afectados".

Oakland residents will soon have to travel a little further for their double-double and animal-style fries ... cause their local In-N-Out Burger is shutting its doors over increased crime.

Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick says a surge in car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies are just a few of the reasons the fast food joint's closing its only Oakland location after nearly 2 decades in business.

He also says this wasn't an overnight decision ... they made persistent attempts to create safer conditions for employees and customers, but all came up short.

Basically, they couldn't keep encouraging their clientele to visit high-risk places.

As for the staff at the burger joint, they'll be able to transfer to other branches or receive a severance package.

The stalker problem in Hollywood has gotten so bad, that celebs are now having to hire PIs to track down these people to make sure they stay away ... including a famous violinist.

We did a ride-along with a seasoned vet in this industry -- a private investigator named Joe Dalu ... who was recently contracted by Lindsey Stirling to locate a man she claims has been stalking her and making her life a living hell.

Check out how Dalu explains this phenomenon to us in the car -- he says there are a lot of law enforcement agencies these days that don't want to serve stalkers with stay-away orders, out of fear of being attacked and harmed ... and as a result, there's no one left to do it.

That's where Joe comes in ... and you can see him doing the job here -- confronting a man who's alleged to be obsessed with Lindsey.

BTW, this guy has ties to hounding Taylor Swift too -- he's been obsessed with her for more than a year -- which just speaks to the larger issue.

El problema de los acosadores en Hollywood se ha agravado tanto que los famosos tienen que contratar a detectives privados para rastrear a estas personas y asegurarse de que se mantengan alejadas... incluida una famosa violinista.

Hicimos un paseo con un veterano experimentado en esta industria, un investigador privado llamado Joe DeLu, quien fue contratado recientemente por Lindsey Stirling para localizar a un hombre que ella afirma que la ha estado acosando y haciendo de su vida un infierno.

Échale un vistazo a cómo DeLu nos explica este fenómeno. Dice que hay un montón de agencias de la ley estos días que no quieren involucrarse con los acosadores con órdenes de alejamiento por temor a sner atacados, y como resultado, no queda nadie para hacerlo.

Ahí es donde entra Joe. Se le puede ver haciendo su trabajo, enfrentándose a un hombre que supuestamente está obsesionado con Lindsey.

Por cierto, este tipo también estuvo obsesionado con Taylor Swift durante más de un año, demostrando que es un problema aún más grande..

The ruby red slipper theft has been solved ... with a confession from a mobster!

Terry Jon Martin has copped to stealing one of the most iconic items in movie history -- Dorothy's ruby red slippers from "The Wizard of Oz."

Terry Jon now admits ... he's the guy behind the smash and grab back in 2005 ... he used a hammer to obliterate the display case that was supposed to protect the slippers.

JJM says he was under the mistaken impression the shoes were bedazzled with real jewels. The reason he thought that -- the shoes were famously insured for $1M.

The shoes were recovered in 2018 and Martin was arrested and pled guilty to the theft.

The 76-year-old will not go to jail ... he's suffering from a serious illness so the judge showed him mercy. He's in hospice care and is only expected to live another 6 months.

El robo de los zapatos rojos de rubí ha sido resuelto, ¡luego de que de un mafioso confesara!

Terry Jon Martin confesó haber robado uno de los artículos más emblemáticos de la historia del cine, zapatillas de color rojo rubí de Dorothy en el "El Mago de Oz".

Terry Jon admite ahora que él es el  autor del robo que ocurrió en 2005. Utilizó un martillo para destruir la vitrina que se suponía iba a proteger las zapatillas.

Terry dice que estaba bajo la impresión errónea de que los zapatos estaban adornados con joyas reales. La razón por la que pensó eso... los zapatos estaban famosamente asegurados por $1M.

Los zapatos fueron recuperados en 2018 y Martin fue arrestado y se declaró culpable del robo.

El hombre de 76 años no irá a la cárcel, sufre una enfermedad grave, por lo que el juez tuvo piedad de él. Está en cuidados paliativos y solo se espera que viva otros seis meses.

Sarah Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol Palin, has been hounded by stalkers for years -- and after little help from the criminal justice system ... she's taken matters into her own hands.

We talked to Bristol for a new documentary airing Monday at 9 PM ET/8 Central on FOX -- delving into the horrors of famous people who've had to battle obsessed fans ... to the point their lives have been put at risk, including BP here -- whose history with this is well-documented.

The incidents for Bristol date back to the mid-2010s ... and they were all harrowing.

In the years since, Bristol hasn't shied away from the fact that she exercises her 2nd Amendment right to bear arms -- something she touches on here in our sit-down with her.

Check it out ... she describes the anxiety she lives with in the aftermath of everything she's gone through -- and explains why she feels protecting herself, her home and her family is absolutely essential in her daily life going forward.

Part of the reason she feels she needs to go to these extremes is because the law itself is simply too lenient when it comes to stalking -- and doesn't do enough to deter them.

We get far more into the topic in the doc itself -- titled 'TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis' -- and cover more stars who've dealt with this.

La hija mayor de Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin, ha sido hostigada por los acosadores durante años, y después de recibir poca ayuda del sistema de justicia penal, ella decidió tomar el asunto por sus propias manos.

Hablamos con Bristol para un nuevo documental que se emitirá el lunes a las 9 PM y 8PM Central en FOX, que profundiza en los horrores de los famosos que han tenido que lidiar con fans que se obsesionan con ellos a tal punto que sus vidas han estado en riesgo, incluyendo el caso de Bristol, cuya historia está bien documentada.

Los incidentes de Bristol se remontan a mediados de la década del 2010, y todos ellos fueron desgarradores.

En los años transcurridos desde entonces, ella no ha rehuido el hecho de que ejerce su derecho de la 2ª Enmienda de portar armas, algo que conversó con nosotros.

Echa un vistazo al video, en este ella describe la ansiedad con la que vive después de lo que pasó y explica por qué siente que protegerse a sí misma, su hogar y su familia es absolutamente esencial en su vida diaria.

Siente que tiene que llegar a estos extremos en parte porque la ley en sí es simplemente demasiado indulgente cuando se trata de acoso, y no hace lo suficiente para disuadirlos.

En el documental "TMZ Investigates: Obsessed and Dangerous: Hollywood’s Stalker Crisis", cubrimos mucho más sobre las celebridades que han lidiado con esto.
